The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 226 One versus four? !

At this time, LeBron was incredibly calm in the eyes of reporters.

There was no provocation, no noise, even though he had dunked away this little Asian devil who had been humiliating him one after another before, his face still remained absolutely calm, without any change in expression.

It seems that the chosen one has finally entered the state and is finally serious!

LeBron is really serious at this time.

The majority of the rest time off the court was not in vain. It not only allowed him to understand Lin Dong better, but more importantly, he also found a best opponent.

The more I get to know Lin Dong, the more difficult I think this guy is to defend. After all, it’s very clear just by looking at the embarrassment of Anthony and Bosh before.

And choosing another Asian who is in the limelight as your opponent not only gives you a 100% guarantee, but you can also occasionally find time to help defend Lin Dong.

Then it was the same two people who stopped Lin Dong. The person who was mainly defending Lin Dong might have contributed much more, but it was obvious that the praise belonged to the person who was assisting in the defense.

When you are guarding against Lin Dong, you need help from others. When you are guarding against others, you can still take the time to guard against Lin Dong, and then just press him down... Can this feel the same? Will it be the same after it is published in newspapers and publicized?

It's not that he doesn't want to compliment his good brother Bosh.

But compared to Bosh, who was born in a middle-class engineer family, he, a child who grew up in a slum, needs more praise, more attention and more glory.

Thinking about my mother who is still with her boyfriend in the slums, and thinking about the small bed in the Walker family where I can only curl up to sleep...

Sorry Walker, no offense, I will always remember everything you did for me, but that bed is really too small.

Therefore, I cannot lose this opportunity to become famous in the United States, absolutely not!

While LeBron was following Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was still running around, he was staring at Lin Dong, who was coming with the ball, and Bosh, who was struggling to defend Lin Dong.

I owe you, good brother!

He said silently in his heart, but his eyes were always keeping an eye on Lin Dong's possible entry route.

The player who replaced Rukawa Kaede was Zoran Planinic. With a height of 201 centimeters, he seemed to be quite suitable for the shooting guard or small forward position, and as soon as he came up, he hit the right three of Rukawa Kaede's previous positions. At the top of the arc, it seems that he is planning to replace Rukawa Kaede's function as an outside shooter, but I don't know if his shooting is accurate.

At this time, Lin Dong started to come here with the ball again. Although he knew that the big man was going to set up a pick-and-roll with Lin Dong, Wade gave up after just a little attempt to block it.

The opponent is about ten centimeters taller than him. Although he does not look very strong, he can feel the strength of the opponent's muscles as soon as they fight. Wade feels that he is a very tough type, completely different from Rukawa Kaede before. Flexible and flexible, if such a big man is determined to pick and roll Lin Dong, he can't stop it just by fighting with his body.

Wade chose to follow normally.

Lin Dong's one-man pick-and-roll shooting actually has very high requirements for the shooter. The shooting speed must be extremely fast, otherwise the opportunity will be fleeting and give the defender time, whether it is to block it from the wing. Whether Gai forcefully squeezes Lin Dong away, or whether he blocks or interferes with Lin Dong from behind, the defensive effect on you is actually the same.

Wade didn't believe that this big man could have the shooting speed of the previous No. 11.

At this time, Lin Dong and Zolan were out of position, and Wade and Bosh also completed the defense switch in an instant.

But surprisingly, Lin Dong actually cut to the basket at the moment of misplacement. This was different from before when Lin Dong always stopped to block Rukawa Kaede.

The ball is not in Lin Dong's hands?

Not only Wade, who had switched defenses, was surprised, but Bosh also reacted subconsciously. Both of them immediately blocked Lin Dong, and the next second, the 201-centimeter big man was already standing tall. Gao jumped up.

cheated!

Wade and Bosh thought at the same time that their center of gravity had been shifted and their bodies were already chasing Lin Dong. It was too late to come back and block it.

Zoran had been sitting on the sidelines for most of the game, and he was already itching. Faced with the open opportunity that appeared as soon as he came on the court, he didn't hesitate at all and shot a 3-pointer.

His 3-point shooting is not the most accurate among this group of Europeans, but it is still among the top three, and his shooting rate when he is open is still quite high.

This ball was very lucky, and it hit the basket with great accuracy.

The ball was scored, 71:72, only one point away.

But the reporters on the sidelines didn't panic, and neither did the players on the court.

This guy's 3-point shooting speed is obviously not as fast as Rukawa Kaede's before, and looking at his relatively imperfect movements when shooting, it is also obviously not as soft and stable as Rukawa Kaede.

This kind of 3-pointer is a time bomb. Although he is a hero if he scores, there will soon be a time when he misses it.

The U.S. team's offensive touch was still hot after turning around. Wade used LeBron's pick-and-roll to hit Sakuragi Hanamichi in a misplaced position.

Although Sakuragi's defense has already won two true passes from Payton, it is mainly due to the pressure of "standing defense". After all, he has only learned it for a few days, and the essence of what he can learn from the stance has already been passed by Payton. He was surprised to think that he was a genius who could inherit his legacy.

In the face of Wade's sports battle that robbed him of his speed, his overall defense still showed shortcomings, that is, mobile defense when moving at high speed.

He failed to follow up and was thrown away by Wade in three big steps and went straight to the basket, but the next second...

Swish!

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Wade, blocking his way.

Lin Dong!

What does it mean to go all out? Just attacking doesn’t mean going all out...

Lin Dong licked the corner of his mouth excitedly, zone 2.0 was opened!

Zone 2.0, in addition to the freedom to control what you want, also means true 100% concentration.

With this level of concentration, the whole person will be in a state of excitement.

The body's hormones are constantly being secreted, the brain is extremely active, and even the blood supply throughout the body is a little faster than usual.

In such an excited state, it is difficult for people to relax.

Lin Dong knows that this is because he is not familiar enough with the control and cannot do as he pleases like Jordan. It is because he lacks a truly high-level game and needs to slowly improve in the future.

But at least now, this is the strongest version of myself!

Seeing that face that suddenly appeared, full of excitement, and those sharp eyes like knives, even Wade couldn't help but shuddered slightly.

Lin Dong's previous performance was so amazing that it always made people feel that he was omnipotent, and the excited smile and murderous look on such a person's face was obviously full of danger for any opponent.

After all, it was a critical point. When he felt a brother rushing towards him from the right, Wade did not hit hard, but threw his body up, attracting Lin Dong to also jump to defend, and at the same time, he made an exquisite back pass!

Swish!

dong dong dong dong!

The sound of LeBron's impacting footsteps is extremely unique, with a sense of pressure that seems to crush everything. When he catches the ball, he jumps high towards the basket.

But this time, it was no longer the basket that greeted him...

Just by looking at the fear flashing in Wade's eyes when he jumped up, Lin Dong knew that he would not take action, and the figure of LeBron rushing behind him was also very clear. The movement of jumping to defend was just a lift of the center of gravity. It's just a fake movement with both feet slightly off the ground.

Lin Dong fell down immediately, and under Wade's surprised eyes, he jumped up for the second time with lightning speed!

LeBron rushed up very quickly, his jumping height was high enough, and he had already made a windmill motion with the ball in his right hand. He was going to hit him hard, but the Asian figure was flying quickly in his eyes. It rose, then blocked his view of the basket.

Lin Dong jumps as high as LeBron!

The big hand raised high immediately touched the basketball that LeBron was slamming toward the basket.

The two were competing against each other at this time. LeBron had the strength advantage and the blessing of sprint speed, so he obviously won by one point.

But Lin Dong has the dexterity to strike back. When his wrist presses the basketball, it is at an angle facing the backboard. It is not a head-on confrontation with him.

Snapped!

The basketball was slammed onto the backboard by Lin Dong, and a nail-board block made LeBron empty.

The next second, the basketball bounced off the backboard. At this time, LeBron was still rushing forward with inertia, Lin Dong had not yet landed, and Wade, who had just landed below, had already spotted the opportunity and suddenly jumped up.

But just as he raised his hands above his head to get the ball, Wade felt another gust of wind coming from underneath him.

Red hair!

Wade was surprised,

Subconsciously, he wanted to firmly protect the basketball he had in his hands, but he was falling in mid-air, and his center of gravity was not stable. The red-haired guy jumped up too fast, and he didn't even have time to retract his arms. No.

Snapped!

The basketball that had been caught by Wade was lifted up by Sakuragi Hanamichi's big hand, and it actually came out.

The two landed at the same time, together with LeBron and Lin Dong, who had already landed and turned back, plus Bosh, who had just arrived belatedly.

Five people and ten eyes were all staring at the basketball that was lifted up in the air, and they were blocking each other at the same time.

LeBron and Bosh held Lin Dong firmly. Facing the two American team insiders, each of them was stronger than Lin Dong and pressed him at the same time. Even if they opened the zone, it was difficult to do so. But after all, he is the king of experience. Lin Dong took the initiative to retreat. Most of LeBron and Bosh's attention was on him at this time. In the minds of these two people, they only felt that Lin Dong wanted to go around or perhaps There was some other move, and restraining Lin Dong was obviously the first choice, so the two of them subconsciously took a step back, which would open up space for Sakuragi and Wade.

It is impossible for me to face this American team easily one on three or one on five, but I also have teammates!

——It’s up to you, Sakuragi!

Lin Dong turned around and ran towards the frontcourt, further mobilizing LeBron and Bosh's subconscious defensive focus and creating more space for Sakuragi.

Brother Gao Ren pulled the two men away and started running towards the frontcourt. This was because he trusted himself!

——Come on, rebounding king Sakuragi!

Haruko's voice flashed through his mind for no reason at this moment, and what followed was an emptiness in his mind.

At this time, Sakuragi, who was squatting slightly, looked at the basketball in the air, and his eyes were already a little bloodshot!

He tightly locked Wade's body with his arms. Compared with Bosh before, Wade seemed a little too thin, and he was completely squeezed out of position in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi's crazy power.

At this time, both LeBron and Bosh also reacted. Although they felt it was a bit late, they immediately stepped forward to press, hoping to use the momentum of 3-1 to make the opponent fearful and confused.

But at this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi could only see the basketball in the sky.

call!

Sakuragi Hanamichi's right hand almost completely pressed on Wade's shoulder, and then he jumped up first.

Snapped!

Everyone on the sidelines was stunned, and even Yunus' jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Although the ball was able to be put down and even stolen, most of it was due to Lin Dong's early blocking and subsequent containment, but at least at this moment, it seems that the red-haired man from Japan is actually in front of LeBron and Bosh. Did the three of them, Wade and Wade, grab the ball? !

Fuck...Yunas was sweating profusely.

If you take into account this guy's level when he first came to Seattle, it feels like his performance is even crazier than Lin Dong!

I actually kept him on the bench for the first half...

Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the falling basketball tightly, and then landed with both hands on the ground. Not only did he avoid the big hands of LeBron and Bosh who came to fight for the ball, but he also let Wade, who was about to steal the ball below, slap him firmly. On the basketball, but it didn’t move at all...

"Brother Gao Ren!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted, but he actually played a trick. The person he called was Lin Dong, but the direction of the pass was Zolan, who was still stunned near the free throw line.

Frankly speaking, Sakuragi's shouting was in vain. Even if he called Lin Dong, it would be better, but LeBron and the others really couldn't understand the Japanese pronunciation of "Brother Takato".

But the effect is the same. After all, LeBron and others have already noticed Lin Dong rushing to the frontcourt in advance. This ball must be passed to Lin Dong! LeBron and Bosh blocked his passing direction in front of him. Who knew he could actually see Zoran who was dazed next to him...

With the basketball in hand, Zolan came to his senses in time. He was just acting as a transfer station. At this time, he threw the ball forward. Lin Dong had already reached the three-point line in the frontcourt. The American team gave up immediately. defense.

An empty basket went in, 73:72, and the international team took the lead!

The bench of the international team threw towels and danced, accompanied by jumping up and down and cheering.

"Wow hahaha!" Zhu Fangyu was so excited that he rushed up and gave Sakuragi a hard slap: "This is so embarrassing!"

The American team's face turned a little livid.

These guys... are so tenacious!

"LeBron!" Old K roared at him on the sidelines: "Remember what you said to me before!"

Obviously, in Old K's view, LeBron was responsible for being blocked for the slam dunk just now.

Still love Xian!

If the choice for that ball was a layup instead of a slam dunk, then he would have enough time and opportunity to recover the ball in the air and pass it out again, allowing the Asian to miss.

"Bring it back!" LeBron just said coldly to his brothers.

They were so smooth on the offensive end that they relaxed their vigilance and the offense seemed too casual.

Looking back, the US team was obviously much more cautious on the offensive end. Wade dribbled the ball through Zolan, attracted Lin Dong's defense, and passed to Anthony near the free throw line.

Although Zoran made a timely defensive switch to make up for it, based on the strength of the two men in a one-on-one, Zoran was obviously unable to guard him and was easily scored by Anthony from mid-range.

At 73:74, the US team took the lead again.

At this time, there were only 12 seconds left before the end of the third quarter on the electronic scoreboard.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

"12, 11, 10, 9..."

The U.S. team’s bench shouted defense, counting down the seconds for the defensive players on the court, and at the same time creating tension and pressure on the offensive team due to lack of time. Obviously, they wanted the U.S. team to enter the third quarter with a lead. Four quarters to go.

Lin Dong passed the midfield with the ball, turning a deaf ear to the countdown sound on the U.S. team's bench, his eyes so clear that it was shocking.

There seems to be no change in tactics. He still looks for Zoran to set up a pick-and-roll like the third player.

Seeing Lin Dong passing through at the moment of misplacement, Bosh did not dare to let Zoran double-team Lin Dong this time, but made a proper defense change with Wade.

But this time, the ball is not in Zoran's hands...

A gleam flashed in Lin Dong's eyes.

In terms of absolute speed, I may not be as good as TJ Ford. In terms of change of direction speed, I may not be as good as Iverson or as good as Wade at his peak in the future.

However, when it comes to explosive power, breakthrough rhythm, and first step, when driving in the zone and paying full attention, I am as confident as anyone else!

call!

The already fast figure suddenly accelerated at this moment.

Wade, who had just switched defense, hadn't even fully established his defensive position yet. How could he adapt to his rhythm?

Wade's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he saw the guy rushing out like an afterimage against his body.

The surprise in his pupils turned into shock, and they suddenly contracted.

So fast!

It was so fast that Wade not only failed to keep up with his reaction and defense, but was even 'pulled' by the sudden inertia, causing his center of gravity to sway slightly and almost staggered.

Directly in front, LeBron and Anthony had obviously seen Lin Dong break through the defense of Bosh and Wade.

He actually made a breakthrough like this? Those are Bosh and Wade...

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of LeBron and Anthony. There were only two or three seconds left before the end of the third quarter. If Lin Dong chose to pass the ball, no one else would have time to score.

Without thinking too much, the two of them quickly shrank towards the basket and intercepted Lin Dong.

call!

But in Lin Dong's eyes, it was as if these two people didn't exist at all. After taking one step, he stepped on the right sideline of the penalty area and jumped high.

LeBron and Anthony jumped at the same time to block the shot.

The U.S. team's bench, the international team's bench, and even the reporters and spectators all stood up nervously at this time, staring directly at the position under the basket.

Slam dunk? Change hands? Pass the ball?

Facing the two tower-like defenses, Lin Dong's mouth curled up, and before his body collided with him, he already held the ball in his right hand and threw it high.

But I saw the basketball flying at least one or two meters above LeBron and Anthony's shot-blocking hands. It was already higher than the top of the backboard, and I was afraid it was going to fly off the backboard.

But the next second... the basketball seemed to be enchanted. When it reached the highest point, it paused slightly in the air, as if it was hovering, and then fell downwards. At the same time as the red light on the backboard lit up, there was a swishing sound. Into the net.

The goal was scored, 75:74, and the international team took the lead!

At this time, the entire stadium suddenly became silent except for the beep sound from the electronic scoreboard.

Damn...one against four? A single-quarter buzzer beater? !
